Very very fun! I bought the manga while in Japan after watching the anime and sped through volumes 1-3. It's so popular right now that almost no bookstores have it in stock, and for good reason - it's amazing! Seriously in love with the art, story, and deep dive into the entertainment industry. 10/10 recommend!

 The premise is weird, but it handles it well and takes it in a different direction than expected. Especially with the end being a twist from what was expected. Overall, I will continue with the series and am looking forward to see where it is going.

Not a big fan of the "older man promising young girl they'll get married when they're older" thing, but overall I really liked this! The art is absolutely stunning and I can't wait to watch the anime.

I think it slogged a little bit while Ruby and Aqua were in the infant stage and then immediately ramped up once Ai was murdered, so I'm excited to keep reading this one.

This was soooooo good! I was not expecting a murder mystery to come out from such a cute cover! I absolutely loved it; the storytelling and the interviews interspersed within the story were really good. It was chef kiss when it all came together at the end. I can't wait to see what Aqua discovers and if Ruby will become an idol!
